“Industry and the scientific community in the quest for an alzheimer's cure - accomplishing this through effective leadership, collaborative advocacy, and strategic investments. Founded in 2011, usagainstalzheimer's network has worked across sectors to: (1) secure the national goal of preventing and effectively treating alzheimer's by 2025 and help secure nearly $500 million in additional public funding for alzheimer's research over the past few years; (2) drive global efforts that resulted in the leaders of the world's most powerful nations, the g7 group, to embrace a similar 2025 goal and to call for greater levels of research investment and collaboration; and (3) forge industry commitments to improve efficiencies for an expedited drug discovery and approval process. Usagainstalzheimer's theory of change is rooted in the strong belief that we, the american people, can create the national will to prevent and treat alzheimer's by pressuring our political, business and civic leaders to devote the necessary resources to outcomes-oriented research and to reform the drug development systems that currently slow the development and availability of promising treatments. We call this "leadership for the cure. And it works.”
